Höstdans (Autumn dance)

The wind from the north wants to sing again -
raises its strong, hoarse voice.
Forests and seas will join in and swing
in the steady rhythm towards autumn…

Maples and birch trees in the park
spread their yellow carpets on the ground
so that we can dance in the autumn
before the storm sweeps everything away.
Still we have the green of spring in our minds,
love, hope and longing are still the trend.
Give me your hand and dance softly in the autumn –
yet life’s not empty and cold.

Remember, although summer is over
there remains a scent of lilies of the valley.
From bluebells, daisies and clover
soon every beautiful detail will be born...

Maples and birch trees in the park
spread their yellow carpets on the ground
so that we can dance in the autumn
before the storm sweeps everything away.
Still we have the green of spring in our minds,
love, hope and longing are still the trend.
Hold my hand and dance softly in the autumn –
yet life’s not empty and cold.
